Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive form of human skin cancer characterized by high metastatic potential and poor prognosis. Biomarkers of metastatic risk are critically needed to instigate new auxiliary measures in high-risk patients. In clinical specimens of skin melanoma, we previously found that let-7b, microRNA-199a and microRNA-33 were significantly associated with metastatic melanoma, and thus may be the key to melanoma treatment. In this study, we examined the effect of overexpression and inhibition of let-7b and microRNA-199a. Plasmids overexpressing these genes were transfected into B16F10 melanoma cells, and let-7b and microRNA-199a expression were evaluated at the RNA, protein and cellular level. Cyclin D1 expression was significantly higher in cells transfected with let-7b plasmid and let-7b inhibitor compared with control cells (P
